We kicked off [Math Awareness Month](https://blog.mindresearch.net/blog/bid/381051/The-Month-of-Math) with a call to create your own Magic Square à la MIND’s award-winning ST Math program. Since our “[Magic JiJi Square](https://blog.mindresearch.net/blog/bid/381575/MathAware-Challenge-1-Magic-JiJi-Squares)” challenge is coming to a close, we’d like to take this opportunity to encourage you and your students to *share your creations* **by April 18** *for a chance to win JiJi goodies*. We’d love to see Magic JiJi Squares from kids and grownups alike! Send us your #JiJiSquare by posting a photo/scan/screenshot on our [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/JiJiMath) page or by tweeting the image to [@JiJiMath](https://twitter.com/JiJiMath). 

Guidelines for the #JiJiSquare challenge are available [here](https://blog.mindresearch.net/blog/bid/381575/MathAware-). And below are a couple of cool Magic JiJi Squares to help you drum up ideas for your own:

![describe the image](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/file-674783756-png/images/jijisquare_cycle-resized-600.png)  
*The above #JiJiSquare is based on the ST Math game [JiJiCycle](http://www.mindresearch.net/play/). As you can see, each row, column and diagonal will get JiJi the penguin to the balloon platform located at the 1.5 mark. *

*![GeoMagicSquare resized 600](https://2024.mindresearch.org/hs-fs/file-674774726-png/images/geomagicsquare-resized-600.png)*

*This #JiJiSquare was inspired by MIND's [BigSeed](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bigseed/id482245645?mt=8) iPad app. Here, each multicolored row, column and diagonal fit together to form a 5x3 rectangle.*

If you have any questions about this or the [Approximating Square Roots](https://blog.mindresearch.net/blog/bid/382320/MathAware-Challenge-2-Approximating-Square-Roots) challenge, please post a comment below. We look forward to seeing your #JiJiSquare!
